Discover a new three-part approach to the marvelous map book fold. First, simple painting techniques are explored to provide colorful content. Then, artwork is cut and collaged as design elements. Lastly, the structure is folded and painted patterns are applied. A unique work of art has been “created and composed and constructed”. Everyone will complete a book and leave with many options for future pieces. No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm and possibly a snack!
